Kota (Raj), Aug 7 (PTI) The body of a 40-year-old man from Agar Malwa district in Madhya Pradesh was found with multiple injury marks in a village in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district on Friday, police said.
The deceased, Kishore Singh, was a resident of Barode area in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh. He had come to Chowkdikalan village in Jhalawar to meet his maternal uncle on Thursday noon, they said.
